Trust Sweet Iron loose ring jointed snaffle 12mm

De Trust Sweet Iron jointed snaffle is a basic bit with loose bit rings. This is the bit in wich many horse begin ther education because most horses will accept this type of bit. When pressure is placed on the reins the mouthpiece breaks at the join. This creates an angle which gives the tongue more room than with a double jointed snaffle or a straight.  

The loose ring:

The loose ring is a basic bit wich can be used by experiencend and unexperiencend riders. The mouth piece can move independently from the rings. They are available in single jointed and double jointed vaiarities. The thinner the bit the more leverage the rider obtains. 

The trust bit types,The Sweet Iron:

Sweet iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity; the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which in turn encourages better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) changes the blue colour of the TRUST-bit to a brownish-grey.If a sweet iron bit is not used for a while, an orange-brown rust layer may develop on the mouthpiece. Simply remove this by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.
